Ground plan
Also called: Groundplan, Floor plan.
A ground plan is a scaled drawing of the stage seen from above, showing the set, the furniture, the masking and the playing area, usually with the centre line and the setting line marked. It is the drawing blocking is worked out on and the one the crew tapes out on the rehearsal room floor.
In CueCall
Upload a ground plan image (proscenium, thrust, arena or your own) and block scenes directly on it; set a default plan for the show and override it per blocking entry.
